Brian Bliss Travis was arraigned on four counts of Capital Murder Monday morning. Travis also faces one count of Furnishing Prohibited Articles.

Bethany Jo Wester's body was found on the bank of a creek near Polk County Road 31, near Cove on Tuesday, April 25, according to the affidavit. Deputies weren't immediately able to identify her body.

The next day, Bethany's employer called the sheriff's office, saying she hadn't showed up for work all week. Mena police officers went to her home to check on her. There, they found Brian Bliss Travis and arrested him on an outstanding warrant, the affidavit said.

Bethany's body was identified by the Arkansas State Crime Lab as deputies searched for her two children, Reilly Scarbrough and Acelynn Wester.

On Thursday, April 27, the body of Bethany's uncle, Steven Payne, was found in his home in Hatfield. Evidence at the scene suggested Payne had been murdered.

On Friday, Acelynn Wester's body was found near the same area where her mother's had been earlier in the week.

On Saturday, Brian Travis told an Arkansas Police Investigator that he had killed both of the children, as well as their mother and their uncle, according to the affidavit. He offered to show investigators where he had put Reilly's body.

The county sheriff and a special agent with Arkansas State Police drove Travis out to the woods in Hatfield, and he showed them where Reilly's body was, according to the affidavit.

The Polk County Prosecutor's Office said it will not release any additional information on this case. The Polk County Circuit Court issued an order banning the parties involved from speaking to the media about the case.
